Clean and press ?

The only problem is when i get the clean and have it on my chest , my wrists take a beatin' and kind of hurt. I was wondering if this is normal till your wrists get used to it or its just poor flexibility ?

Once I get above 225 or so, I wrap 'em. I leave the wraps a little looser than usual to retain the flexiblity in my wrists. Just tighten the wraps enough for some added support. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!" "Pain is only weakness leaving the body."
